Ivy 36 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 What has been your favorite purchase from WDW? Since the trip itself was about all we could afford, we did not buy many things. I did buy a few pins that I really enjoy having. My favorite one is this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mtnmanky...aka Leon 72 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I did not "buy" it (unless you count the cost of the trip) but hands down my favorite is my spike. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WrigleysWagon 32 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 A subtle T-shirt or sweatshirt. The cheap toys break before you get home, and the pins are fun to collect and nice to look at, but a shirt could give you years of service. It may be a little boring but you'll remember your trip every time you put it on. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 We don't buy much when it comes to souvenirs anymore, but I try and find one cool thing each trip. My criteria is generally that it needs to be something we can see and/or use fairly regularly ...and that there's a place to put it at home or in the camper. My favorites from years past are... - my 40th anniversary Dooney & Bourke purse (used every day) - the glass "Beurre" butter dish from France in Epcot (used every day) - the $7 silver ring I bought in Norway (wear it all the time) Last year I sprang for one of each of the 4 Starbucks "you are here" mugs. They're great, heavy mugs that feel good in your hand, hold a good amount, can go in the dishwasher, and stack nicely on the shelf. I love them and use them almost every day. I've got coffee in one right now. :) Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Mine was a Fort Wilderness patch with Musket Mickey on it. I don't remember if we bought it on our first visit in 77, or on a visit in the 80's. I think it got lost a few years ago when we were downsizing after we did some house renovations.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 This is kindof silly, but my favorite souvenirs from WDW are some "proposal development tools" that I keep in my office. They are buttons similar to the "Staples Easy Button". One is the Queen of Hearts that says "Off With Your Head!". The other is Scar that says "I'm Surrounded by Idiots". If I slap one of those while at the office, the hall suddenly becomes quiet :) Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.TN22 12 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 We have Christmas Ornaments from each trip - I love those. But I did buy the salt and pepper shakers that look like the Magic Kingdom trash cans on this last trip, and I love them! Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Mine is a simple beer mug Christmas ornament bought at Germany in Epoct. The second to Christmas trip we did with my grandma we were looking at ornaments in Germany, I was drinking a beer, she picked it out gave me money and told me to go buy it. At the time she said it was for my grandpa, Christmas morning I opened the box and thought she had labeled it wrong. She said no its right and that it was to remind me of all the fun times we had and would have at Disney with her. Ok now that I have teared and and started laughing at the same time thinking about. So I guess it worked just like she wanted. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Are you all telling me no one has brought home that "little souvenir" that they liked so much they named it. Of course it may not be so little anymore. For the record I did not bring home such souvenir. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 My wife's WDW hoody with Grumpy and the opening date on the back. Why? Because it is pretty much her favorite thing purchased at WDW. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Oddly enough mine is a picture of me when I was a kid sitting on my bike by a bench by the settlement. Only problem is my parents refuse to let me have it. They have it in an old photo album. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I think ours would be the Mickey Ears my wife got on our first trip as husband & wife, but to make it even better is the picture of her father wearing them, who we lost many years ago, it is still a very fond memory of our trip with him.
